There was a group of children from Lorton, Lee Jackson, Franconia, Fort Bel voir. Woodlawn and Groveton, who were all eager to find out and learn what the school had to offer. There were various activities in which many students took part. A day was chosen for the freshmen to have a class meeting for the purpose of getting acquainted with other students. A week later we elected our freshman class officers. The results were: president, William Young; vice-president, Kathryn Weaver; secretary, Jeanne Hootma;t; treasurer, Dorothy Monroe; and reporter, Barbara Von Deck. One thing which almost every student was interested in was sports. Sports which we had at Mt. Vernon were basketball, baseball, football, volley¬ ball and girls’ softball. Every student enjoyed going and cheering at our school games. One of the most looked-forward to days was Oct. 12th, the day the entire freshman class took their lunches and hiked to Mt. Vernon where they spent the day. There were other exciting days too, like the day of the freshman picnic and when the clubs took their trips. A very special day which every student had fun on was “Sadie Hawkins Day”. The girls dressed like “Daisy Mae” and the boys like “Lik Abner”. Lunches were sold by the boys and the chase followed. Prizes were given for the best dressed and the girl that caught the most boys. The freshmen in home room 9 kind of felt superior to the others be¬ cause most every drive or campaign held in the school was won by them. The teacher of that homeroom was Miss Flippo. The year passed quickly by and it was soon time for school to close. The following fall school opened and the freshmen of 1944-45 became the “know it a ll” Sophomores. Again we elected officers. The results were: president, Aileen Cook; vice-president, Newman Shiffet; secretary, Kathleen Cook; and treasurer, William Young. We have enjoyed our years at Mt. Vernon and will always remember the fun that we had, and we shall never forget the school which we love. -W THE 19 46
